WHY IS LABOUR HIDING ITS POLICY, OR HAS IT NOT DONE THE HARD WORK?

About this episode

The episode discusses Labour's lack of transparency regarding its Future Fund and features researcher Aly Cook challenging Chris Hipkins' claims about youth vaccine risks.

Labour wants New Zealanders to buy into a massive new Future Fund, but they refuse to tell us what assets are actually in it until after the election. Chris Hipkins claims voters do not want the details, but we think you deserve transparency when billions of dollars are on the line. Plus, researcher Aly Cook joins the show with a paper trail that completely challenges Hipkins' timeline on what he knew about youth vaccine risks. Learn more about your ad choices.
